How did I end up here?

Postby crazylunker » Sun Feb 26, 2012 1:08 pm

Ok so a little over a week ago I decide to do the kdp fix on my first gen w72000 mi on it, pulled the cover and found cam gear had walked a bit and touched the cover a couple times :scratch: . So I do a little research and see this happens sometimes (truck is stock except for 4"exh, denny t pin and 3k gsk) and that the only way to fix it properly is to remove the cam and redo gear install process :-? . SOOO I figured why not change head gasket and maybe O ring and studs(for future use).

So to make a long story a bit shorter within 8 hours it went from a kdp fix to a bare frame with the bed,cab and nose sitting in my yard and the chassis going to the sandblaster :bh:

So does anyone know how this happens??????????????????????

Oh and my credit card allmost cought on fire from all the times I flexed it this past week on misc must haves, the only good thing is I expect it to be a bit more fun to drive when done :jumpsmile:

And projects have a way of doing that.

It's a snowball effect.
